Yes, they circled the carrion on the field of battle, chirruping "Who's a good boy, then?" in their loathsome insect trill.

Wait, I think I'm off topic somehow.

Lol.

<nods head. :moo:

BREAKING NEWS: Burger King admits it has been selling beef burgers and Whoppers containing horsemeat (Daily Mail)

However, new tests have revealed these guarantees were incorrect in a revelation that threatens to destroy the trust of customers.

It also raises serious questions about whether the food company, which sells around one million burgers a week in the UK, has any good idea about what goes into its products.

Apologies won't mend a poor track record.

I hope at least they used adult horses, and not the equine version of veal.

Because that would just be an awh-foal situation.

Tainted Beef Scandal Grows as British Lasagna Meals Recalled for Containing Up to 100 Percent Horse Meat (Gawker)

The frozen food manufacturer Findus was forced to recall its line of beef lasagna meals this week after testing by the British Food Standards Agency revealed that, instead of beef, the meals contained between 60 and 100 perfect horse meat.
---
Environment Secretary Mary Creagh told the press today that she has been "given information about British companies who may potentially be involved in the illegal horsemeat trade," and wishes to "share this information with the police."

The FSA said it did not believe the horse meat posed a food safety risk, but did mention the need to test for the anti-inflammatory drug phenylbutazone.

Also known as "Bute," the drug is typically found in illegal horse meat, and has been shown to cause a serious blood disorder in some humans.

What does the label say listing the ingredients?

Contains flour, mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, spices and horse?

Is this where mystery meat comes from?

Seriously I'd like to see the ingredients listed.

Perhaps they attempt to provide a continental flair and thus render it cavallo.

Real meat substitute? Or meat by product.

Cavallo is a better word.

Bolognese is what language for horse?:floorlaugh: Wfgodot's cavallo is more appealing. I'm getting a little nervous as I had a Genoa salami sandwich yesterday. I think it's real beef or pork.

Thanks for the info and the hilarious cartoons!

Spelled properly it's bologneighs.

This thread is really funny.
It took me years to eat hamburgers again. Now I can't eat one without thinking of this topic.I am going to start buying my meat locally. That is it, or become a vegetarian.

Why would they even need to process horse meat :/
